DRIVER SUPPORT
284sensor, the system may apply the brakes in your vehicle suddenly or not at all. Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same traffic lane at a preset time intervalset by the driver. If the radar sensor does notdetect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. This will alsobe the case if a vehicle ahead accelerates andexceeds the set speed.
• Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle from astandstill up to a speed of approx. 125 mph(200 km/h)
• Pilot Assist can provide steering assistancefrom very low speeds up to approx. 87 mph(140 km/h).
Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must react if the sys-tem does not detect another vehicle.
• Pilot Assist does not react to people, ani-mals, stationary objects, small vehicles(such as bicycles and motorcycles), lowtrailers and slow moving, parked orapproaching vehicles.
• Do not use Pilot Assist in demandingdriving conditions such as city driving orother heavy traffic situations, in areas withintersections, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slush onthe road, during heavy rain or snow, inpoor visibility, on winding roads, on high-way on- or off-ramps or if the vehicle istowing a trailer, boat, etc.
NOTE
•Pilot Assist maintenance should only be carried out by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
• Pilot Assist regulates your vehicle'sspeed using the accelerator pedal andthe brakes. Please be aware that theremay be a faint sound from the brakeswhen the system is using them.

Radar sensor limitations
The radar sensor used by several of the driver support systems has certain limitations, whichalso affect the systems using it.
Obstructions
The marked area must not be obstructed in any way. This area of the windshield should always be kept clean
The radar sensor is located at the upper, center section of the windshield along with the camera.
WARNING
Never place any objects, decals, electronic toll devices, window tinting films etc., on the wind-shield in front of or around the camera/radarsensor. This could reduce or block these com-ponents' functions, and could cause one ormore of the systems that utilize them to stopfunctioning. This can also result in certain functions being reduced or disabled, or they may respondincorrectly. If this symbol and the message
Windscreen Sensors blockedappear in the instrument panel, this indicates that the camera and/or radar
sensor cannot detect other vehicles ahead.
The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
Cause Action
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or covered by ice or snow. Clean the windshield or remove the ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/snow reduces the camera/radar sensor's range of visibility. No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this type.
Water or snow on the surface of the road swirl up and block radar signals or the camera'sview. No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of thistype.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor. Have the area of the windshield cleaned by a trained and quali- fied Volvo service technician.
